Lollapalooza looks like the best festival this year. It's a shame really that it is in Chicago. The line up, which is now heavily rumoured to consist of, as headliners, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine and Kanye West. No words can ever describe how amazing a quartet of headliners that is. The fact that Nine Inch Nails are now touring the USA and Canada later this summer pretty much confirms the rumour. The full line up gets announced tomorrow on the official site.Kasabian's new album is 80% finished, according to Chris Edwards, the bassist in the band. If you have any sense of mathematics that leaves a further 20% left to finish. Apparently, Noel Gallagher is going to have the final say on whether it is finished or not. If I were in a band, Mr Gallagher would not be my first contact, but there you go.
Radiohead, having 'shook up' the music industry, are now taking on the social networks. Waste Central is the band's very own equivalent to MySpace, Facebook and the rest (but not Bebo, since that's pretty shit). Looks pretty nifty to be honest, if a little similar to MySpace design wise, and I'll be very intrigued to see what involvement the band will have with this.
I got my import copy of the Plastic Palace Alice album, The Great Depression, yesterday. A really fine debut album that shows the many talents that the band have. Stand out tracks are Empire Falls, The Girl Who Cried Wolf, Murakami, 1934 and Well. This band is definitely NOT an Arcade Fire tribute band.
Akon is going country. Please just go away you creepy, creepy man.
DIGG IT!
